We tested the hypothesis that nutrient enrichment affects recruitment of the oyster Saccostrea glomerata and the barnacle Hexaminius popeiana, which are dominant occupiers of space on tree trunks in temperate mangrove forests in New South Wales, Australia. We measured recruitment on artificial settlement plates at high and low intertidal levels under ambient conditions and where we manipulated ...

objective: hippocampal insults have been observed in multiple sclerosis (ms) patients. fibroblast growth factor-2 (fgf2) induces neurogenesis in the hippocampus and enhances the proliferation, migration and differentiation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (opcs). in the current study, we have investigated the effect of fgf2 on the processes of gliotoxin induced demyelination and subsequent r...

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) have revolutionised cancer treatment, resulting in long-term durable responses. In advanced disease, ICIs are administered every 2-6 weeks i.v. until progression or unacceptable toxicity, which is often several years’ treatment. Physiological efficacy of anti-PD-1 antibodies (maximal receptor occupancy) seen at lower doses than those routine use. Pharmacodynam...
